Northern Cyprus

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know what happens to O2 customers in Northern (Turkish) Cyprus?  It does not seem to be part of the Europe Zone- is it considered to be part of Turkey?  What are the charges for calls/texts/data?

(Hard to believe that, as the EU considers the whole of Cyprus to be part of the EU...)

Hi @Anonymous You need to be careful about connecting to a Turkish network....

2 threads of interest here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/Roaming-Changes-from-15th-June-2017-CONTRACT-ONLY-quot/td-p/1053128

And a warning thread here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/EU-roaming-WARNING-Cyprus/td-p/1067398

You need to make sure you don't inadvertently connect to a Turkish network...

If connected to a Cypriot network you can use your UK allowances with no extra charges, but if connected to a Turkish network it's £3.99 a day for O2 travel or the following standard rates.

When in:       Calling:  

Making calls - per minute	£1.50
Receiving calls - per minute	£1.25
Sending texts - per message	40p

Cost per MB of using data:

Data usage

£6*

It's your responsibility to connect to the correct network. Even if you are in Turkish Cyprus you are able to connect to a Greek Cyprus nework...........unfortunately it also works vice versa.
